Product Description
This Cammenga Tritium Illuminated Military Lensatic Compass has been used by U.S. troops, foreign militaries, law enforcement, and special forces. A total of seven Tritium light sources provide readability in total darkness for 10 years without external power or the need to "recharge" using a flashlight. The compass features a sapphire bearing and the card is induction damped for fast settling with an accuracy of +/- 2 mils. The compass card has both the standard 0 - 360 degree scale, as well as the 0 - 64 Mil scale (one yard at 1,000 yards). The bezel rotates with detents every 3 degrees so you can change the heading reference a known amount without looking at the compass. The front sight has a magnifier to simultaneously view the magnetic heading when taking a sight. When unfolded flat, the marching compass has a straight edge with a standard 1:50,000 map scale. The folded compass measures 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, 2 1/4 inches (5.7 cm) wide, 1 1/8 inch (2.9 cm) thick, and weighs only 5.3 ounces (150 grams). This compass is protected by a durable waterproof cast aluminum case painted olive drab. The compass is brand new with fresh tritium and comes complete with a lanyard and a carrying pouch with rear belt clip. The compass is made in the United States and comes with instructions and a one year warranty.

 Good compas for land nav. March 4, 2010
Tell Sackett (Salt Lake City,UT.)
I recieved this compass in short order and it was well packaged and no damage what so ever. This is a real good compass. I am use to the older style military compass and this one is even better. I use it for land navigation with topo maps just like i did in the army. This is top af the line easy to use, durable, and not like those easy to brake plastic garbage compasses. I deffinitly reccomend this. I rearly if ever give a 5 star rateing but this one came close.

Gave this as a gift to my father who is hard to please and has everything. He loved it! Quality compass, he raved about how happy he was to get it. The tritium tips are great, easy to read even in low light conditions.

After placing the order, I received a genuine Cammenga Model 3H lensatic compass with tritium...the real deal. The compass I received is both rugged and accurate. The model 3H is much better than other, cheaper lenstatic compasses I've used in the past. The difference is stark. From the aluminum constrution to the clarity of the readings...this compass is worth the extra money. It is a little more difficult to operate than some of the more popular baseplate compasses, lacking a "set and forget" declination adjustment and numerous map scales, but the Cammenga is unquestionably more durable than the comparably priced baseplate model.

As a member in wearing a uniform for a living you quickly learn how important it is to have a good compass. Even with the techonlogy today do not let murphy's law catch you off guard. There is no replacement for a great back up.
